It would certainly be a trick to repot without hands. Gloves are even too
cumbersome for me. Best to repot when the plant is in need of repotting
rather than waiting. Pot larger if roots are in the out-growing mode; pot
smaller when roots are few and the plant is not doing well.

I find that I get slivers from the potting mix and small cuts if
I don't wear gloves. Either kitchen rubber gloves or the craft
gloves work well. I can not use gardening gloves.
